Should plumbers be certified or licensed?
Yes, licensing protects homeowners and ensures accountability. Compliance with plumbing codes reduces health risks and contamination. Our "Angi Approved" badge indicates professionals who satisfy our standards: successful background assessment, required licensing compliance, 3.0 or better rating average, regular advertising activity, and requirement fulfillment. Key point: State licensing is compulsory.
What questions should I ask a plumbing contractor?
Use the following prompts to understand how the plumber operates:
- Are you fully insured and licensed?
- Estimate fees or free?
- Pricing transparency?
- Who performs/supervises?
- Damage accountability?
- Emergency SLA?
- Cleanup policy?
- Warranty details?
This discussion creates a foundation of trust and understanding between you and your plumber.
Should I clean before the plumber comes?
Plumbers appreciate when homeowners prepare a clean workspace before arrival. A freshly cleaned fixture creates a more comfortable environment.
Keep safety first by separating pets from tools.

Some plumbing services require extended duration. Especially work involving demolition to access pipes, excavation for gas line installation, or specially ordered parts and materials. Aligning schedules for inspections avoids idle days between phases.
When should I call a plumber instead of DIY-ing my project?
If the system behaves unpredictably after your changes, call for expert assessment.
Professional help is advised for:
- Sudden drop in pressure
- Leak in sealed chases
- Non-DIY tool requirements
- Structural penetrations needed
- Scalding/steam/gas hazards
Absolutely acceptable to realize when professional support is beneficial. If the work is more intricate than expected, hire an expert.
